Recovery 4x4, I have a shop van on a deuce but it's data plate does not say M109. It had another model number. I think it is a 1965 vehicle and it has a non turbo multi fuel with the sprag t case. I never noticed any skids on the van body, but I'll be sure to check it the next time I'm up there. Be sure to have anything inside nailed and screwed down very well. That body will be tipped at an extreme angle while winching up. I have a military 6,000 lb rough terrain forklift and it can easily lift 10,000lbs. I have a deuce that I'm installing a five ton 14' drop side bed on and the plan is to use the forklift to lift the van body up and drive the truck under it for loading and vise versa for unloading. I think I'll be a little over 8' with the sides lowered but not by much. With the two extra feet and the opened tailgate I should have a nice porch out back. Just another one of my hair braned ideas.
I think you have a studebaker deuce.
I know someone who has one 1 ( a Experimental)

It's a Studebaker XM275 Tractor



here are some picture's of our M36A2 with load

I have two very HD ramps. They came from the Belgian Army. They are good to hold a 4 ton truck. I will take pix of them and show you guys.

I had a good welder make me a set of 12' ramps, he put a leg in the middle so that the ramps won't flex too far when the weight is on them. I haven't used them yet but I think I'll winch the jeep up the first time. I also had him make a short set to run from my trailer to the deuce.
